Removing 6.3 *ineligible* enrollees is not “cruel and barbaric.”

Your state literally enrolls *millionaires* on food stamps through this fraudulent, corrupt loophole.

Trump is kicking 6.3 million MORE Americans off SNAP.

It's cruel and barbaric.

When we gain the majority, we'll restore SNAP benefits.

No one should signal “flexibility” on Democrats’ demand for more food stamp fraud.
Grace Yarrow @YarrowGrace 13h
News: Republicans are signaling a new flexibility on Democrats’ demand to delay SNAP cost-sharing rules by two years in the farm bill

But with control of Congress set to shift and a limited timeline, any breakthrough may come too late...

Think about what Katie is arguing here.

She’s insisting we spend $100B to give 6M+ ineligible people food stamps — including literal millionaires — to “protect” free lunches for 2,900 children who are already statutorily ineligible for the free lunch program based on income.

Stupid lie from Katie being used to defend fraud.

22M kids get free or reduced-price lunches. USDA says 28,000 (not 1.78M) could “lose” that benefit because they were never eligible for it.

Accounting for universal free lunch programs & CEP, it’s actually less than 2,900.

Can’t be said enough: The Trump administration’s own analysis is that this proposal would kick 6.3 million people off SNAP, including 1.78 million school-aged kids who would also lose automatic enrollment for free meals at school when they lose SNAP.

I am SHOCKED that the welfare lobbyists at FRAC oppose cracking down on welfare fraud & want to America to keep giving food stamps to literal millionaires & Ferrari owners.
FRAC condemns the proposed rule to eliminate Broad-Based Categorical Eligibility (BBCE), which could strip SNAP benefits from an additional 6.3 million people. Eliminating BBCE won’t reduce hunger or improve program integrity. frac.org/blog/bbcepropo…
